The Elon Phoenix head across the Carolina line and face the Charleston Cougars in Colonial League play from the TD Arena on the FloS. This will mark the 35th time Charleston and Elon face off, and the Cougars hold a 25-9 series lead.

Elon dropped to 2-15 after falling to N.C. A&T at home. The Phoenix held a seven-point halftime lead before being outscored by 16 points in the second half by the Aggies, and lost by nine points. Elon is scoring 80.8 points per game, while allowing 70.6 ppg, and shooting 44.4% from the floor. Sean Halloran leads the team in scoring at 13.1 ppg.

Charleston improved to 17-1 following a big road victory over NC-Wilmington. The Cougars would hold off a fierce rally from the Seahawks, and escape with a two point victory. Charleston is scoring 80.8 points per game, while allowing 70.6 ppg, and shooting 44.4% from the floor.

Charleston is off to arguably their best season in school history, and they’re ranked in the polls for the first time in 20 years. The Cougars should keep this magical season going strong here. Charleston scores at a high clip, and they’re one of the few teams in the country with five scorers averaging double figures. Dalton Bolon recorded a 22-point double-double in the win over A&T, and he leads the team with 12.9 ppg. 

Elon is 4-12 against the spread this season, with a 5-11 over/under record. Charleston is 12-5 ATS this year, with a 20-7 o/u record. Phoenix are 5-11 ATS in their last 16 games overall. Cougars are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 home games vs. a team with a losing road record. Under is 8-0 in Cougars last 8 home games.

There’s absolutely no reason for Charleston to stop the party here after their biggest win of the season. Elon should be overmatched here, with no unseen upset blemishing Charleston’s run. The blowout margin may be tricky here, so let’s take the under with Elon struggling on the offensive end and this likely to be a one-sided affair. 

The pick in this article is the opinion of the writer, not a PickDawgz site consensus.
